Description: This report apparently was submitted to MUFON (although no investigative record can be located on the MUFON web site.)
MUFON Report Says:
“My father works in an oil company here in Texas, and they had noticed that some people were taking the crude oil in the night,” the witness stated. “So they started putting cameras up around the areas. One night one camera caught a UFO.” The witness explains that the photo had been circulated, but with no further explanation. “The news had spread throughout the workers and they soon emailed it to my father. My father had sent it to me and now I’m posting it here on MUFON.”

Photo Report from Marc D’Antonio

I looked at this image before as I mentioned. One thing I noticed is that this is NOT a snapshot. It is actually a time exposure. I am not yet sure what the exposure was, but it’s possibly 1/2 second perhaps. That is just a guess, but it’s based on knowing how these low light cams work. The exposure is usually longer than typical so as to capture the details in the scene.

The results is that whatever this object is, it is not being seen in its true form. This is because the object is moving in my opinion and the time exposure shows the object elongated. The reason I deduced that it’s moving is because it is blurred along the horizontal. Noting the three lights, I believe that these multiple lights are actually just ONE light, that was blinking as the object moved across the field of view. In my experience, such an appearance is very consistent with a moving object in a time exposure.

Knowing the image exposure time will give me the blink rate frequency. I cannot say what it was however, just that it is a trailed time exposure of a singular object that had a singular blinking light on it. Not knowing the distance to the object in this field of view yet I cannot deduce any scale for the object. In my opinion, this object is an unknown BUT a trailed time exposure of an unknown at this point.
Thanks,
Marc
